[QUOTE="moots, post: 718925, member: 219"] Howdy Bro... Let's get into better perspective.The drive train in a rear wheel driven car has the prop shaft and half shaft.The prop shaft is the pic I posted earlier which has a U joint at the rear and center and a guibo (rubber flex disc) at the front.and the half shafts has 2 cv joints at both ends.your description above on what was removed and reinstalled and what was tested is not too clear. whatever the case may be,cv joints shud not get stuck or be difficult to move.if shud move freely. i cannot recommend anything as I need to hear the noise and see the prop shaft and half shafts before coming up with a solution. but i really would recommend you go to optimum auto in damansara kayu ara and see ah foo 012-3081891or ah fai 012-2115679 or their lead mechanic faisal. removing the prop shaft is a lot of work where the exhaust pipes also requires to be removed and I feel your mech wasted all efforts by just putting grease......
